Among the millions of animals in the world, some animals are most beloved by humans. The first name that comes in this list is that of dogs. Not only this, dogs are also called man’s most loyal friend. Some people also consider dogs as members of the family. Although generally the age of dogs is 14-15 years. But there is also a dog in the world, which had made the world record of being the oldest dog. You recognized it right, we are talking about Bobby Dog of Portugal. However, Guinness Book has withdrawn this record. Learn about the case in detail.
oldest dog
Bobby of Portugal is said to be the oldest dog in the world. Because he lived for 31 years and 165 days. For this reason, he was called the oldest dog in the world and the Guinness Book awarded him the title of the oldest dog. But now this title has been taken away from him. Guinness World Records said it had no evidence that an elderly dog that died last year was as old as claimed.
what is the matter
Let us tell you that Bobby the dog was of Rafero do Alentejo breed. Experts say that the average lifespan of dogs of this type of breed is only 12 to 14 years. Then how was it alive for so long? However, Bobby’s owner had submitted a microchip to the Guinness Book of World Records to prove his age. It is claimed that this will reveal his real age. However, Guinness World Records said that they have no evidence that Bobby was as old a dog as is claimed. The microchip that claims to prove Bobby’s age is not enough evidence to give him this title. Therefore we withdraw this record. Guinness Book said that at present it has not been decided which dog is the new record holder.
what did the dog owner say
Bobby’s owner Lionel Costa has refused to comment on the snatching of the record. He only said that the doubts regarding Bobby’s age are baseless. Last month, Danny Chambers of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons said that none of our colleagues believe that the dog actually lived for 31 years. Let us tell you that before this, the crown of the oldest dog was in the name of Australian Cattle Dog Bluey. That dog died in 1939 and he lived for 29 years and 5 months.
